When will it be okay for the the goverment to tap your cable television to view what programs you are watching? When will it be okay to use a central database of all collected information on a person to put them on the "suspicious list."
The idea that our goverment or any goverment uses the guise of 'danger' or 'iminent threat' wether real or imagined, to take away the very essence of what it means to be free is down right scary.
We already live in a world like this. When does an
Orwellian consipiracy theory become reality? This is not the first time the powers that be used feared to control their population. You only have to harken back to Nazi Germany to see the use of a
casus belli to obtain the power to be omnipresent in the name of "Keeping the people and ideals safe."
